The World's First Twist

"Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself?" the blonde adult asked, slipping on his plain white T-shirt.

His little sister had to suppress an eye roll as she heated a bag of popcorn in the microwave.

"She'll be fine," The middle child stated. He jumped over the stair rail and grabbed his baseball cap from the coat rack to cover his shaggy raven hair. "This isn't her first time home alone. If she can kick your ass-"

"Brandon," the oldest scolded.

"What?! Mom's at work, and our little sister is no saint when it comes to potty talk."

"Be glad that Mom is at work. Otherwise, Nattie won't be the only one capable of kicking your butt," Johnny turned his attention to his baby sister, who was leaning against the kitchen counter. Her oval face glowed with a hint of rose to her cheeks. Yaya believed Nattie to be an angel. However, the mocking smirk across the girl's face showed evidence that Brandon's words were valid.

Nattie was the youngest of the three. Fifteen years old and about to start the second year of high school this September. Her duty was to live carefree, cause mischief, and wrap someone around her manicured finger. Fortunately for the brothers, their American father wasn't around to be the girl's number one victim to prey on with her puppy-dog brown eyes and rosy pout. Papouli was number one on her list - the only man to provide her the extra scoop of ice cream, a sip from Yaya's wine collection, a preview of the goriest horror films, and tips on how to play cards.

Their mother, who started a family at a too-young age, worked at a medical clinic downtown in Athens. The mini-hospital didn't have an upscale neighborhood like Kolonaki but was always the busiest - especially where the crime and parties occurred. The family was lucky to live far away from the nightclubs and could afford to tolerate loud children and booming pop music next door.

Mother always encouraged her kids not to make the same mistakes she had made. She had high hopes for Johnny Junior - the most responsible but annoying dad-wannabe attending dental school. Nattie could do right if she pursued a massage therapist or hairdresser career. Unfortunately, Brandon was currently the disappointing son. He repeated primary education once, got kicked out twice for constant absences, and always liked to mingle and play baseball rather than read a book. What ticked Nattie off the most was that Brandon was currently in a relationship with her best friend - Aria. She remembered going straight to the bathroom and puking after the big reveal. It's a shame they weren't in America, considering that Aria was fifteen and Brandon would be an adult in January. To Nattie, their relationship should be illegal, no matter their age.

"Nattie, at any time you need us-"

The girl interrupted Johnny with a smile, "I won't call you."
